Chapter Seventy-Five: The Gap

Seeing that the weather was very good this afternoon, Pei Yao was also a person who knew how to enjoy it, so she and Wu Shu moved the rattan table and rattan chair to the waterhole, and brought two plates of snacks and chestnuts to the table.

In the cave, I found that the last time I went to the blacksmith's to make daggers, I ordered a stove made of iron buckets and a large copper kettle, and in the stove were a few pieces of burning charcoal from the stove.

Pei Yao boiled water to make tea and eat snacks at the table, and chatted with the scenery by the way, which was really a pleasant time.

It turned out that Pei Yao used a casserole to boil water, and later changed the stove, and the pot on the kang could not be changed casually, so after drinking the boiling water boiled in the big iron pot for a few days, it was really a taste in the water that I didn't like, so I could only spend 600 Wen to buy a big copper kettle, after all, this pot can be used for a long time, so it is not a loss.

And the iron bucket that was customized with the dagger was used to make a small stove. A fifth of the bucket was filled with a few net-shaped, pinky-thick iron rods, and a small square door was left under the bucket to block firewood and use it to drop ash.

Pei Yao smeared a thick circle of yellow mud on the inside of the bucket to prevent the iron bucket from being too hot, and it was also possible to thicken the furnace wall so that she could sit on the kettle.

The two sat at the table and talked, and when the water was boiled, Pei Yao poured water into the bamboo water cup on the rattan table, and made a cup of honeysuckle tea for Wu Shu

Where did Wu Shu have the opportunity to eat dim sum, he had almost never seen it, and the only time he saw it was when his cousin brought it to him, as well as chestnut snacks

Looking at the turquoise bamboo cup, the slender honeysuckle swirling in the clear boiling water, he was sad for a while, and he couldn't believe that he could live a good life, it was really hell in the morning and heaven in the afternoon, and he couldn't help but feel a big tear falling down in his heart, falling on the rattan table and breaking into several petals.

Pei Yao stretched out her hand and rubbed his bald head, and said softly: "After crying, you can look like before, because you know the value of sweetness after suffering hardship." Your previous life is also a part of your life, and standing on this painful part, you can reach out to receive happiness and cherish it, because you know that it is not easy to come by. ”

Seeing him nodding heavily, Pei Yao also sighed that this ten-year-old baby was also a precocious one, and hoped that the second half of the sister and brother's life would be smooth and safe.

When my sister was washed and walked out of the cave, she was also wearing the same short shirt as her brother, but she looked thinner than him, Pei Yao beckoned her to come over for snacks, and her reaction was the same as her brother, watching the two sisters and brothers sitting at the table with their heads down and crying.

Pei Yao wanted to live a good life, but now how to look at the bald heads and big cloth shirts of the sisters and brothers, how they look like they have just been released from prison, so happy, Pei Yao gritted her teeth and twitched the corners of her mouth. Can't laugh! A smile will definitely make the two sensitive little ones smile. Woo, hehe

In the evening, the three of them worked together to make a meal of pork and radish shredded dumplings, looking at the funny flour on the faces of several people, and the lively atmosphere of talking and laughing, Pei Yao felt that it was not bad to have someone to live with. There are also a lot of people under their feet, rubbing their legs one by one, never forgetting the presence of Xiuxiu.

After cooking the dumplings, Pei Yao mixed a spoonful of black noodles in the dumpling soup, and fed a few crushed dumplings to Duoduo, her eyes were about to fall out, this dog was better than all they raised.

Looking at the rice bowl they were staring at, Duoduo turned in one direction to eat, facing them with his buttocks, blocking their shining!

Pei Yao was happy, the two sisters and brothers ate at the tender price, and the fat dog protected the food and ignored it.

After a cheerful dumpling banquet, the three of them covered their stomachs and walked around the courtyard to eat, and my sister Wu Man suddenly said: "I ate dumplings for the first time, it's so delicious, I've only wrapped it but I haven't eaten any of it" The voice became lower and lower

Pei Yao deliberately said in a cheerful tone: "Okay, don't always think about the hard days in the past, now that you have Miss Ben, you don't dare to say that you can eat and drink spicy, so it's no problem for you to eat enough." As he spoke, he pinched Wu Man's thin little face and said: "Don't be sad all the time, girls have to be happy to be beautiful, and if you want to relax, life will get better and better!" ”

It was dark, and the three of them had almost eaten, Pei Yao lit the oil lamp at the entrance of the cave, and led the two sisters and brothers to the side of the kang.

Put the oil lamp on the retaining wall of the kang, Pei Yao spread her quilt on the kang, and put the big quilt made by Aunt Chen on the kang, and said to the two sisters and brothers: "Wu Man will sleep with me in a quilt, Wu Shu, you sleep on this quilt first, spread half of it and cover it half, and then go buy two more sets tomorrow." ”

When the two children fell asleep in the hot quilt excitedly, they both sighed comfortably, Wu Shu said to Pei Yao excitedly: "Sister Yao, why do I think the platform below is hot, so warm!" ”

Pei Yao was happy, everyone came to her house and was curious about this kang, but she was also quite proud of this kang that was almost made by herself!

"This is a fire kang, and when you cook rice, it will be scalded by hot smoke, so you can sleep on it hot." Pei Yao explained.

"Oh, that's amazing!" Wu Shu was excited, and his sister had another day of joy and sorrow, and he was very tired, and slept in a safe, warm and soft quilt at night, just like his mother's embrace, and the three of them soon fell into a dark and sweet dream.

Early in the morning, Pei Yao heard a crackling sound, thinking that the spare firewood at home was on fire, and she turned over and 'poof!' He jumped up, and Wu Shu, who hadn't gotten up yet, jumped up in fright.

Wu Shu asked confusedly, "What's wrong with Sister Yao?" ”

When she heard Wu Shu's voice, she remembered that she was no longer alone at home, so she pressed her thumping heart and looked at Wu Man beside her, and sure enough, Wu Man was not on the kang.

Hearing the words, Wu Man leaned over from the stove and asked, "Did I wake you up?" ”

It turned out that Wu Man was burning the fire, Pei Yao's heart fell to the ground, and she felt that she still hadn't slept well and was a little confused, and with a 'bang', Pei Yao went back to the pillow again, thinking in a daze: You can sleep lazily, and you have something to eat

The two sisters and brothers were confused, staring at each other for a long time, thinking that this Sister Yao was angry to get up!

Seeing that she fell asleep again, Wu Shu also got up and folded the quilt, touched the soft big quilt, he childishly hugged the folded quilt, smelled the sunshine on the quilt, and greedily didn't want to wake up from this dream! Yes, it's a dream, this dream he's had since he was a child, in which he can eat, eat meat, and be full. In the dream, he happily played with his parents and sister in the sun, and there was such a soft and warm quilt in the dream.

His dream began when his uncle married his stepwife, and I don't know when it began, his parents worked hard every day, and his sister was also assigned to burn the fire and wash the laundry at a young age, and no matter how tired his mother was, he would protect them and try to do it himself.

Seeing that his mother was happy, his father silently began to work harder, hoping to make his mother easier, but as a result, when he was tired, his grandmother blamed him for dragging his feet and throwing down so much work.

Finally, my father didn't resist it, my mother was hit, and I couldn't stand the grinding and splashing of dirty water, so I dragged my broken body to suicide in front of the door, afraid that the illness would drag down the two children, but without the protection of my father and mother, I and my sister could live, it was really called a pig and a dog, and if it was a dream now, he wanted not to wake up for the rest of his life! (To be continued.) )
